50 Best Cafes in Sacramento

“I came to this restaurant because it has high ratings, and it's walking distance from the Amtrak station from which I came. I ordered the Chicken Tagine, which contained both white and dark meat. The flavor of the dish was phenomenal. I really enjoyed it. I didn't like that the white meat was really chewy, but the dark meat was very juicy. The atmosphere didn't seem very authentic, but it was very clean and pleasant. I recommend this place.“

“Came here for some mid-morning coffee and snacks while on a road trip.
The atmosphere is great, they decorate for Halloween in October and there's some decent hip-hop on the stereo. From assorted somewhat obscure artists.

The vegan cheese and crackers plate is solid.
The Vegan Potato and Leek Scone was amazing and I think“

“Friendly and great Mexican Mocha!“

“Friendly employees and great coffee!“

“I visited Classy Hippie on Saturday, January 17th for a quick meet and greet with the owner and some local friends. This place has a quaint welcoming atmosphere, an extensive selection of high quality loose leaf teas, a variety of grab-n-go bites as well as dine in favs, plus a self service option for quick check out. The aroma of fun, service and hospitality pair with a perfect blend of classy hippie that fills the air. I purchased the pineapple mimosa and English breakfast cream tea and couldn’t wait to get it back to South Carolina to savor the delicate blend of craftsmanship from someone who could only produce such perfection as a tea and coffee sommelier. Thank you Leo, Gloria, Stephanie and most importantly Thank You William for letting me peek inside your Tea World. Until next Time.. ☕️ 🫖“

“Great local cafe!! Decided to check this spot out after reading some other reviews and was not disappointed. Beautiful style inside with a large cute outdoor seating area as well. The employees customer were welcoming and friendly. Lots of options! I got a muffin and the banana foster and both were delicious. Will definitely be back.“

“Tasty food every time! Sellands has been a favorite for years, and has catered several events! Highly recommend the pizzas and the Mac n cheese!“

“The best coffee period. Only downside is it ruins all other coffee. Quality problem ;).“

“My friends hosted a private event yesterday, and what an absolute amazing experience. The staff were phenomenal with service and help, not to mention putting out a car fire 😆🤣.

“love this place. great since of community hear. I love playing music at Barrio“

“Do you guys serve breakfast?“

“Tried this place while visiting the UCD campus. Great food, my only complaint was a little to much mayo for my liking but the serving size and quality was great. Overall the experience was great. The nice lady at the front makes the business feel warm and welcoming. Please support local businesses like this.“

“great food, supporting a wonderful cause. I had the pork Banh Mi sandwich with black ice tea to drink. I will be back.“

“Most delicious food in today for freezes“

“Very nice place and great food. I love the origin story of this cafe! I just truly wish there were more Latino employees in the front of the house. It feels too white and they're not the friendliest. For a cafe that draws so much inspiration from Latin-American culture, I’d love to see that reflected more in the staff, not just in the back of the house. It would be great to see Spanish-speaking staff taking orders, serving food, and interacting with customers. Hopefully in the near future :)“

“I refuse to drink coffee unless its from Scorpio Coffee!“

“fantastic sandwich shop, 10/10 do reccomend again and again.“

“I ordered a half lamb with briani rice for my nephew's.
It was fantastic , all the guests rushed over it , they didn't even go to other foods that we had ( more than 6 different food dish was served).
Thank you guys for great jon“

“Very good coffee and great staff. Co-op business awesome!“

“Papaya salad was delicious. My kids enjoy the boba drinks. I havent try the sushi rolls but will try next time we go. The store is simple, cute and clean. Customer service was awesome.“

“I eat at Huckleberry’s at least twice a month, today however my experience was not good to the point that I did not leave a tip and feel terrible about that. I went in around noon on Sunday, I knew it would be busy. I signed in for one and was told it would be a 10 minute wait. I sat there roughly 10 minutes. Two ladies came in signed in. Apparently they knew one of the waitress and were seated a few minutes later even though I was there before them. A waiter then approached the hostess and pointed at the clipboard, the hostess told him she was not going to seat one person in a booth. So I approached the hostess that initially signed me in and inquired why the two ladies were given a booth even though I was there before them, she didn’t know and looked for the waitress who sat them. The waitress proceeded to move them to a bigger booth to seat me. I was very disappointed. I realize it was not right to leave a tip but customers should not be given preferential treatment.“

“We stayed on the Caravan site and had our Sunday dinner in the evening. Very friendly and welcoming staff, lovely atmosphere, great food to choose from on the menu. We will definitely be visiting again💯👌“

“Loving Place to Eat Authentic Food made Fresh“

“My choir buddies like to hang out here after practice and I must say their food is awesome and THE DESSERTS ARE DEVINE! 😍😋“

“The Cowboy Burger is definitely hands down the best burger I’ve ever had anywhere, and they have other excellent items on the menu. The service at the bar is also great and fast. I love the neighborhood feel of this down-to-earth restaurant. Easy and low-key enough to bring the kids, and for my picky eater we grab some healthy food for him at the market so he doesn’t just eat fries for his meal.“

“A group of 40s #privateevent #celebration #congrat!“

“I’ve been a vegetarian for a long time, and most vegan/vegetarian food joints don’t get the food right, but this one definitely does. Good flavor, really fresh, and they don’t skimp on the protein. Simple and delicious, nutritious and nourishing. It’s all prepared to-go options, so no waiting required. The staff was super friendly. Nice calm interior. I think I just found a new fave quick lunch spot in Sac!“

“A café with many options I was at Eye designs and had some time before my appointment got the BLT avocado really good and the mango refresher. Alex help me out and it was about 10 minutes before closing and they had no issues serving. And really nice business park fountain area for sitting outside. Definitely recommended.“

“Great hidden gem in Natomas if you want to chill out on their picnic tables or if you’re on the go!! The food is affordable and delicious. Ordered the breakfast bacon burrito, tater tots and golden latte which was soo good!! There’s also access to a fancy bathroom lol 😆“

“Purple Tree Cafe is such a hidden gem! The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, the staff is incredibly kind, and everything on the menu is fresh and delicious. I especially loved the tea and vegan cookie — you can really taste the quality. It’s the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and support a community-focused cafe. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Go there with an empty stomach to be able to enjoy the food My bad on my me folks But good food“

“Sactowns OG handcrafted coffee house is back…love to see them back ❤️🫡“

“Just tried ecoGrounds for the first time and it's incredible! They also work with the Guatemala Water Project and supply clean water year round to the Jumaytepeque region. Awesome company and great coffee!“

“Wonderful amount of inventory with lots of local products highlighted. Always treasure to be found.“

“Not a bad neighborhood Boba tea and snack place. I've stopped by a couple of times now while I've been in the neighborhood and the drinks have not been bad. They use syrups for the fruit teas so those can be a bit hit or miss (Peach good, Watermelon not so much) but I really prefer places that use fresh fruit, or at least a fruit puree.

I went ahead and tried a spam musubi the last time and it was made to order and pretty tasty. Not sure how they kept the nori wrap as crispy as they did but even after being in the bag a few minutes it was still crisp.

Overall I'd recommend if you're near and craving a bit of tea and possibly a snack.“

“Great place for a birthday party. Spacious with plenty of karaoke rooms. Nice choice of appetizers. Reasonably priced.“

“I went here thinking I was going to get something similar to a raspado, but not exactly.

These snow cones are different. I don't know if giving a little bit of juice flavor is the intention or if they are stingy with it.

They also charged a man asking for an extra empty cup. I guess tariffs have hit hard.“

“Loveeee it!!!!!

“I've been here a few times before and tried a couple of items. I had a simple avocado ? toast. This Cafe has 3 different Avocado toast options which is great but, it's a distance from my office. I have to be willing to walk around our consistent campus construction to partake of this menu and today's the day. In the past, I wasn't eating meat for a while so, I had the basic avocado toast with everything but, the bagel seasoning. It's good but, definitely something you can make at home for less than the $5 cost. I purchased a tuna melt last time I was there. I should have ordered the tuna sandwich instead because I think I prefer untoasted bread when I eat tuna sandwiches. Soft is better. Today I had the avocado toast upgrade that is topped with a sliced boiled egg, and chopped bacon bits along with nothing but tge bage seasoning as well. I would have loved a breakfast sandwich but, this toast did the trick. A perfect combination. I ended up cutting it in half & making into a very full half sandwich with toasted bread, avocado, bacon, and hard boiled egg.It was a great breakfast for a whopping $6.79 it was definitely worth the price. I am sure I'll have it again 1 day but, not too often. I have been avoiding & minimizing how much delicious bacon I consume for health reasons. So, a little on occasion is absolutely fine with me.If you're ever at the UC Davis Health Sacramento Campus, look for the Scrubs Cafe in the Medical Education Building & try this awesome avocado toast but, MA it your own. ?? Best thing I've had from Scrubs Cafe East.

Vegetarian options: Veggie Burritos ?, Veggie Sandwiches, Pastries, and other items.

Parking: Parking on-site is horrible and hard to find. You could park at the main medical center structure and be charged for the amount of time that you are on-site. If you park there you have a good 5 minute walk across the street past all fenced off construction diagonal to the medical center tge medical education building sits on the corner across from the grassy field that connects to Shriners Children's Hospital.“

“Fun 9 hole course located in Land Park. Very pretty area! The course is kept up nicely. The staff was very nice and lunch was yummy. Many other attractions in the area as well. Perfect place for a day out.“

“Tasty food every time! Sellands has been a favorite for years, and has catered several events! Highly recommend the pizzas and the Mac n cheese!“

“I love the events and entertainment as well as the food and overall service.“
